JOHN WEILAND 1161 Wilmette Ave. Wil. Ill. Wil. 2128 "Bab," Title of Graduates' Play at High School For many years it has been a cus- tom at New Trier for the graduating class to present at the end of the school term that play known as the "Senior play." This is composed prim- arily of the members of that class assisted by the Juniors. It is considered quite an honor and something of a compliment to be selected for the cast, as rivalry is keen, to say the least. For the performance this year, as something of an innovation, there are to be two casts for the play, one of which will present the play the evening of June 1, the other, June 2 "Bab" is an amusing farce drama- tized from the novel of the same title. The book is by the famous humorist, Mary Roberts Rinehart. Much of the author's original skillful character de- lineation, and most of her ready humor are to be found in the play. It is typical of so many of her stories in that the action goes on at a sprightly pace without once dragging. Bab, the leading character, is almost, not quite, eighteen years old. It is due to some of her innocent schemes and fabrications that a perfectly re- spectable family is almost wrecked. But Bab is not so completely en- grossed in her own affairs as not to be able to bring things out right to the satisfaction of everyone concerned. The part of Bab is being taken by Alta Dee Belshe and Madelon Beall Carter Brooks, the masculine lead, is played by Steve Harwood and Dean Vail. Frances Weld and Alice Donahue have the part of Leila; Wal- lace Miller and George Pearse that of Bab's father, Mr. Archibald; while Pauline McCoy and Lois Johnson have that of Mrs. Archibald. Other mem- bers of the cast include: Bill Larkin, Towner Webster, Evelyn Lauritsen, Betty Brown, Clifton Darling, Bill Hughes, Howard Bleser, Bob Cochran, Cecelia Baldwin, Virginia Pierson, Drake Older, and Arthur Van Deursen. Union Giants Will Play Schroeder's Invincibles The Union Giants, one of the best semi-pro baseball teams in the Chi- cago area, are coming out to the north shore Sunday, when they will play Bill Schroeder's Invincibles, at Corrigan Field, Glencoe. The game, with Gore in the box for Glencoe, will be called at 3 o'clock, and this promises to be one of the best games of the entire season.' The Giants have been scoring their usual quota of victories so far this season, and the Glencoe team also has been putting up a stiff game. The latter team last Sunday, in its game, with the Edgewater Colts, won 9 to 2. SOME RECENT INSTALLATIONS 'Wilmette N. P.

This pianist will ap- pear on December 26, the only avail- able date, as he is booked solid and leaves this country for Europe on January 1. Glenn Dillard Gunn, critic, says of Vladimir Horowitz: "He is the great- est talent that has come out of Rus- sia since Rachmaninoff. "He played that master's third con- certo for piano with Frederick Stock and the Chicago Symphony. "Horowitz has every attribute of greatness. He is master of the com- plex art of the pianistic address. He makes the felts and wires of that most mechanical of instruments respond to as many inflections of tonal beauty as the violin can command. Whether he sustains a tenuous thread of melody or thunders more loudly than the or- chestra's basses and percussions, his playing has diction. "He never fails to impart to every moment of his performance that es- pecial inflection, accent or rhythmic impulse which adds eloquence to mere tonal beauty. It is no matter for sur- prise, then, that the often blase Friday audience listened in breathless silence and applauded frantically. "This pale, slender youth of 24 has mastered the piano. Passages glitter under his fingers. Bewildering speed retains perfect clarity. The instru- ment sings under his fingers even in competition with the orchestra. He has no mannerisms. Technic is never used for display alone. It is a mood- creating agent, yet a thing so perfect in itself that it becomes .a part of drama. "It will be interesting to hear him in recital. One wants to measure him in his contacts with all the great masters of piano literature." GRADUATES MAY 31 Miss Margaret Newman of Win- netka will be graduated by the Chi- cago Normal School of Physical Edu- cation at the commencement exercises which will take place in the school building, 5026 Greenwood avenue, Chi- cago, Thursday evening, May 31, at 8 o'clock.
